We Were Two
Chapter 3
"Excuse me?", he said and looked at me as if I was an alien.
I kept looking at his beautiful face without saying anything, I
couldn't, I guess I was in some kind of shock. A few
minutes went by and we just sat there staring into each
others eyes, and I tell you, his eyes were absolutely gorgeous. 
"Ring, ring!" "Ring, ring!"
"Aren't you gonna answer that?", he asked with a cheeky
smile. I then suddenly realized that it was my mobile that
was ringing.  Still in shock by the fact that Kian from
Westlife was sitting beside me, I picked up the phone and answered. "Hello?"
"Hi Helena, it's Nic, we are running a bit late coz of all
the traffic, we'll probably be there in about ten minutes. Is that OK?"
"Yeah, sure, no problem, I'll be fine! See ya then!"
I hung up and put the mobile back in my bag. 'Come on
Heléna,  you are 19 years old, why are you behaving like
this, just coz Kian from Westlife is talking to you?' I
asked myself, 'he’s just a person  like anyone else'. 
I turned to face him once again, and I apologized for
acting the way I had and of course for the whole lip thing.
"Don't worry about it", he said with a smile, "I've seen a
lot worse, believe me and besides, I really enjoyed
looking into your beautiful  eyes..."
"Oh, puurrlease!!", a voice behind us said, "you have
like the worst pickup lines ever, Egan, and I mean
ever!!" The rest of the Westlife
lads had wondered what took Kian so long and decided
to come over and they were now laughing at both Kian and Bryan's  comment!
"Shut up, Bry! Everybody, there's someone here I'd like
you to meet". (When he said that I remember thinking
that it sounded as if  he was introducing his girlfriend to
his parents for the very first time...)
"Everybody, this is... eeeermmm... is...ermmm..."
"Heléna", I said and stood up to say hello.
"Yes, that's right, this is Heléna! And Heléna, these are
my friends,  Mark, Nicky, Bryan and Shane... oh and I am Kian."
I shook their hands but I was to embarrassed to make
eyecontact  with Bryan. It was as if he knew all about the
'marriage' so to say...
"Thanks for that wonderful introduction Kian, but I know
who you  are", I smiled, "I'm a big fan of yours, it's not
often you find five so talented guys, in one group".
"OK, Ki, how much did you pay her to say that?", Nicky
said and  we all started laughing.
"So, what are you guys doing in Sydney anyway, I
haven't read  anything about you coming here?"
"That was kinda our intention, keeping it a secret", Mark
explained,  "we'll be here for about a month and a half
and doing pretty much  nothing except for a few TV
shows and recording a few songs".
"Yeah that's right", Shane continued, "we've been
working very hard  lately, so we really needed some time
off and we decided to come to Sydney coz we
absolutely love it here". They all agreed by  nodding, but
of course Bryan had to say something,
"And they  have some of the most beautiful women in the
world here, too", he looked at me with a cheeky smile. I
couldn't help but blush... 
We stood there for a while talking about everything and I
found that  they were all really nice and Bryan just had
the maddest sense of  humour, we actually found
ourselves saying jokes on a level that no-one of the
others understood! Maybe the jokes weren't very funny,
but we sure thought they were!
"So what brought you to the land down under?", Nicky asked.
I told them about the job at the hotel and that I was now
waiting for two friends to pick me up. Shane looked at his watch,
"Guys we really have to get going  now.", turning to me,
"it was very nice meeting you Heléna".
"Hey", Bry said, "since we're not doing anything special
tonight maybe the eight of us could get together? Your
friends could give us the grand tour of this town."
We all agreed that it was a good idea and I gave Nic's
homeaddy to the lads (I had a feeling she didn't mind me
giving it to them :o)) and decided that they would come and pick us up at 7pm.
"Nic and Rhiannon will get the shock of a lifetime when
they open  the door and see you guys standing there", I
said, coz of course I  wouldn't tell them that Westlife were
coming around, before they actually did!
Just as I said goodbye to the lads, I saw Nic and Rhiannon
coming. If they only knew...
